The capsule's shape was keyed to the verdict's declared line count, so
"Closest station" — one declared line — always drew as a Capsule while
its text wrapped to two lines in the row's narrow column, leaving the
semicircular ends crowding the words they wrapped. Saves never showed
this because its amount line makes the declared count two.
The shape now follows the DRAWN height: a GeometryReader behind the
text block reports what it actually rendered, divided by the caption's
line height taken through ScaledMetric so the test holds at every
Dynamic Type size. One drawn line keeps the capsule; two or more get
the same 8pt rounded rect the other verdicts use. The first layout
pass, before there is a height, falls back to the declared count.
The listing's verdict capsule now carries white text on muted semantic
fills instead of the neutral secondary tint: Saves #45825E, Costs
#A9635B, Break even #707070, Closest #58789D.
Fixed tones, not translucent tints, because white text on a 15% tint
over a white row measures ~1.8:1. Each tone sits at a relative
luminance of ~0.18 — the band where white clears 4.5:1 AND the pill
still separates ~3:1 from both a white row and the dark card fill — so
one value each works in light and dark without a dynamic colour. The
saturated palette colours cannot carry white text at all: systemGreen
measures 2.2:1, systemRed 3.6:1.
"Save" becomes "Saves", matching the detail sheet and reading as a
statement of the outcome; amounts, symbols, padding, radius and the
shape-follows-line-count rule are unchanged. Saves and Costs share an
84pt minimum width so their trailing edges line up down the list.
The price and its capsule are now one vertically grouped element (5pt),
with the badge keeping the column's full 12pt above, so the row no
longer reads as three equal lines.
Station names cap at three lines with a tail ellipsis: unbounded wrap
let one very long forecourt name set the height of the whole row. 59 of
the 8,073 names in the dump exceed three lines and now ellipsise; the
full name is always in Station Details. Addresses still wrap freely.
The baseline pill moves onto ListingFuelSavingsCapsule so the listing
shows the same soft blue and white text as its siblings, leaving
FuelSavingsCapsule to the detail sheet, which it now alone uses.
Badges keep their tinted styling: they annotate a price rather than
report an outcome.
Verified: 261/261 swift test; Debug simulator and Release device
builds; all four fills and their white text measured from simulator
pixels in both appearances, and the detail sheet's .blue absent from
the listing entirely.
Station and Favourite rows share one capsule, so both now read
"Save / £3.10" and "Costs / £1.20 more" instead of the amount-free
"Saves" / "Costs more". "(approx.)" is appended on its own line when the
journey behind the figure was estimated. Break even carries no figure —
±£0.05 is noise — so it stays a single line unless the qualifier adds one.
- Split `listingCapsuleHeadline()` into a structured `ListingVerdict`
(headline / amount / qualifier) drawn as one Text per line, so where the
capsule breaks is decided by the data rather than by the width the price
column happened to hand it: the figure can never straddle two lines.
- The capsule's shape follows its line count: one line stays a Capsule, two
or more switch to a rounded rect at 8pt, whose corners do not crowd a
taller block the way a pill's semicircular ends do.
- The Key sheet's legend renders the same component with `showsAmount:
false`, so it demonstrates the wording without displaying the placeholder
£1.00 figure it was built from.
- The new words ("Save", "Costs", "(approx.)", "%@ more") go into
Localizable.strings so the copy editor owns them; amounts run through
FuelSavingsFormat.money and the amount line is monospaced.
- VoiceOver keeps the single-line form, since a drawn break is a pause
mid-phrase when spoken.
Tests cover the line structure for all four statuses, the estimated
qualifier and the amount-free legend. Pixel measurement on the simulator
confirms the shape rule: one line measures a radius of h/2 (a pill), two
lines measure 8pt, in both light and dark.
The sheet leads with the station name and address inside the card, above the map, then a two-column facts row (fuel price on the left, distance and return on the right, split by a hairline) and the two station actions divided the same way. The Best Value block becomes a tinted card: verdict badge, the two figures the estimate is made of, the working and the total. "How Best Value works" moves to its own row below it, using the shared HowBestValueRow the Key sheet already shows.
Presentation only: every figure still comes from the shared sources (FuelStore.priceText, stationDistanceDisplay, FuelSavingsResult), so the sheet cannot disagree with the listing row, the widget or the Live Activity, and no calculation, ranking or freshness rule changed.
StationDistanceDisplay.returnLabel(unit:) and FuelSavingsFormat.extraTravelDistanceLabel(...) are split out of their caption forms so a surface printing the return or extra-travel figure on its own line takes it from the same place, confidence marker included; their existing output is unchanged, pinned by tests. FuelSavingsSummaryView is deleted - the sheet's card supersedes it and nothing referenced it.
DEBUG-only QA hooks: -qaConfigureSavings configures a Fuel Savings plan (the Best Value card and the Worth the Drive sort are gated on it), -qaDetailBottom scrolls to that card (defaultScrollAnchor is a no-op on a List) and -qaCopyPostcode holds the copied confirmation long enough to screenshot.
Two columns split by a 1pt hairline: identity on the left at a fixed 52%
share so rows line up when scrolling, price and savings on the right,
leading-aligned on one axis with the price dominant. The favourites star
sits under the station logo, freeing the width the pounds-and-pence price
needs to render in full rather than scaled or truncated.
Badges stay tinted rather than filled — BEST VALUE green, CHEAPEST blue,
none for nearest — and the verdict capsule is one shared view across the
listing, the detail sheet and the compact summary, so wording and colour
cannot drift between them.
Best Value's minimum saving moves from Alerts to Settings, Fuel Savings,
beside the fill size and MPG that produce the saving; the Alerts tab reads
it back instead of offering it twice. Its options are now 50p steps to £5
(was 50p/£1/£2/£5), so £2.50 and £3 are reachable, with a test pinning the
step, the ceiling and the store's string round-trip.
The verdict capsule scales to 0.7 before truncating. Measured on a 393pt
screen its copy is handed ~69pt while "Closest station" needs ~90pt, so the
old 0.8 floor could not reach it and rows showed "Closest stati..." instead.
Verified: Debug build clean, swift test 249/249.
The relay's price_updated is the maximum price_last_updated across the grades it maps, so it cannot vouch for the selected grade: stop using it to score, gate or warn about Best Value.
- FuelPriceFreshness is now station-level and display-only: one age per station, fresh/outdated/unknown/invalid, "May be outdated" past 30 days, with future-tolerance and non-finite guards.
- Best Value restores the closest-station-selling-the-selected-fuel baseline and its savings ranking; eligibility gating, eligible-first sorting and the unavailable banner are gone.
- Price age appears in the More info sheet only - no listing-row warnings, no extra banners.
- Copy reverted from "closest eligible station" to "closest station"; stale price-confidence strings removed, "May be outdated" added.
- Dormant per-grade timestamp plumbing removed, and regression tests added for every fuel type, missing/invalid/future stamps and the bundled offline dump.
- More info lists the fuel price first, with "Price updated" beneath it:
the price is what the row is about, the age qualifies it.
- The detail sheet stacks "vs closest eligible station" under the verdict
capsule, matching the listing rows, so the caption no longer shares a
line with the verdict it describes.
The verdict capsule shared a line with "vs closest eligible station"; the
caption's layoutPriority squeezed the capsule until it truncated
("Approx. £2.75 better off after tra…"), and in this sort mode the verdict
is the point of the row.
- The capsule now owns the line and the caption sits under it.
- The capsule text also shrinks rather than truncating at large Dynamic
Type sizes, since nothing competes with it for width.
- The detail sheet keeps its side-by-side layout: it has the room, and the
verdict there is the sheet's headline.
- Station detail now separates the station's own report age from the
selected fuel's update time, so a recent station-wide report no longer
reads as an old price.
- Warning copy names the fuel and says which side is weak: the station's
price is not individually dated, or the baseline's is. The misleading
"unverified or older than 7 days" line is gone.
- Wording stays "Closest" throughout; new copy uses Unleaded / Premium /
Diesel rather than the internal grade codes.
- Localisation: new and updated keys for the added copy.
Distance confidence
- Every distance surface takes the figure AND its "Approx." marker from one
FuelStore.stationDistanceDisplay call (station rows, detail sheet, widget,
Live Activity, watch, Siri), so a surface can never mark one figure approximate
while showing a routed one. Radius filters and Closest ordering test that same
displayed distance, so no row can read a distance outside the radius that
filtered it (the reported "14.6 mi inside a 10-mile list").
Accurate distances (Settings -> Distances, default off)
- Off: the browse layer serves the straight line, marked Approx., for every row,
so two installs agree to the metre and the app makes no route requests at all.
- On: routed distances for the whole search area, unmarked, served only from a
COMPLETE set anchored within 600 m — a partial fill reverts every row at once
rather than mixing road and straight-line bases.
- Best Value maths sits deliberately outside the toggle: it keeps using measured
road routes and its own confidence marking, so money figures never move with
the switch.
- Fills run only while the toggle is on and the app is frontmost; capacity raised
to 600 stations per pass; completeness tolerates pins Apple Maps has no route
for, which otherwise left an area permanently incomplete and the whole list
stuck on estimates.
Performance (the reported slowdown switching to Closest / launching with it)
- FuelStore.accurateDistancesEnabled was a UserDefaults(suiteName:) read per
call: a synchronous cfprefsd round-trip measured at ~1.9 us, ~200k calls per
Closest sort. Memoised, with the setter keeping it in step.
- Both keyed sorts decorate their keys — one distance per station, carried as an
index instead of copying whole stations into the decorated array — and the
comparison baseline plus per-station journeys now come from ONE pass instead of
two full scans per tab. The Stations tab also reuses its single sorted list for
the count and the TOP badge instead of sorting the country three times.
- Measured on iPhone SE (7,914-station Closest pool): sort 36.6 ms -> 17.1 ms per
list, Cheapest 6 ms, Best Value 11 ms.
- DEBUG probes: FB_PERF list timing, FB_PERF_BENCH toggle-read benchmark, and
FB_DIST_FOCUS now reports the served value, marker and mode (and re-prints when
a fill lands). FB_ACCURATE_DISTANCES / FB_SORT_MODE env forms for devices, where
devicectl eats a leading-dash argument.
Tests: 198, 0 failures. Device and simulator Debug builds green.
Following the sort-segment rename, the rest of the user-facing "Worth the Drive"
copy moves to "Best Value".
- Settings: the toggle is now just "Best Value" (was "Enable Worth the Drive"),
and the narrative footer opens "Best Value estimates fuel cost only, …".
- More info sheet: the section header is "Best Value" (was "Worth the drive?"),
and the section itself is now conditional. `fuelSavings` is nil whenever the
feature is off — `savingsLookup` returns nil when it is not configured — so
the heading is never left dangling over an empty section while the feature is
disabled.
- The unavailable text reads "Best Value unavailable: …".
- Comments and doc comments that named the sort were updated so they match the
UI instead of contradicting it.
Deliberately unchanged: the enum's raw value stays `worthTheDrive`, so stored
sort preferences and widget configs keep decoding, and FuelSavingsStatus keeps
its verdict wording ("Worth the drive" / "Not worth the drive") — that describes
a station's verdict rather than the feature, and is not shown in the UI.
Verified on the simulator: with the feature OFF the more info sheet shows
Address / Distance / Directions and no heading at all; with it ON the sheet
shows the "Best Value" section; Settings reads "Fuel Savings" / "Best Value"
with no "Enable" anywhere. 172 tests, 0 failures.
Two things the listing row was saying twice, or too loosely.
- The verdict capsule used a Label, and a Label lays its icon and title out
across the width it is given: in a listing row that left 22pt of empty space
between the symbol and "Save £1.07 after travel". It is now an HStack with
an explicit 3pt spacing (5pt in the detail sheet), so the text sits beside its
icon and the capsule background hugs the pair. Measured on the same row: the
capsule text moved x 412 -> 341 and the pill 270-831 -> 270-691.
- The address line printed the station name a second time. The official Fuel
Finder address field usually opens with the station's own name ("CHIDSWELL
SERVICE STATION, LEEDS ROAD, DEWSBURY, WF12 7QW" for "Jet Chidswell"): 14% of
the dump's addresses start with the exact name, and 13% also end with the
postcode the row appended again. StationAddressLine (new, in Shared/, so the
row and the detail sheet share one rule) drops a leading repeat of the name
and writes the postcode exactly once.
The rules are deliberately conservative: a leading segment carrying a house
number is a real street address and is left alone ("41 ANNACLOY RD ANNACLOY"),
and a partial-word match ("Jet" against "JETSON FILLING STATION") never cuts
into a word. 14 new tests (169 total, 0 failures) pin the shapes found in the
real dump as well as the examples above.
Verified on the simulator: the first listing row's second line went from
"CHIDSWELL SERVICE STA..." to "LEEDS ROAD, DEWSBURY...", and the detail sheet
reads "Sainsbury's Halifax / WADE STREET, HX1 1SB".
The two Fuel Savings figures and the in-list fill-up control were text
fields. A typed figure could sit outside the slider's own bounds, so the
control and the number it claimed to show could disagree, and the decimal
pad needed a Done button to escape.
- Settings: "Average fuel economy" and "Typical fill-up" are now sliders
with a read-out ("45 MPG", "£40" / "40 L") in place of the field. The
warning copy reads "Set a realistic..." rather than "Enter...".
- FuelSavingsAdjustmentView (shared by the Stations Worth-the-Drive header
and the Favourites tab) drops its text field and gains the same read-out;
the typed-value machinery and the -focusFillAmount QA hook go with it.
- Slider bounds live in FuelSavingsCalculator (fillAmountSliderRange/Step,
mpgSliderRange/Step) so the Settings control and the in-list control can
never offer different ranges, and the fill-up slider range stays inside
the calculator's validity ceiling (asserted by test).
- Two tests pin those invariants: every slider position is a valid amount,
and both MPG bounds are valid MPG values. 155 tests, 0 failures.
- Comments that described the removed fields were updated; the keyboard
Done-bar plumbing is kept (no numeric field remains in the app, so it can
no longer fire) rather than deleted, so any field added later still has an
escape route.
Verified on the simulator: Settings shows "Average fuel economy / 45 MPG"
with no field, and the Worth-the-Drive fill-up control shows the unit picker
with a "£40" read-out and a slider. The Settings "Typical fill-up" row sits
below the fold on every simulator available here (and synthetic input cannot
scroll it), so those pixels are unverified.
Calculation audit (brief config: 30 MPG imperial, £60 fill-up, baseline
Rontec Shelf 171.9p at 0.4 mi):
- One mile<->kilometre constant pair (kilometresPerMile 1.609344,
metresPerMile 1609.344) replaces the mixed 1609.34 / 0.621371 / 1.60934
used in the savings path. Effect ~2 ppm (invisible), but the conversions
are now auditable in one place.
- New FuelSavingsCalculationAuditTests (20 deterministic tests, no live
MKDirections) pins the brief's three stations - Tesco 170.9p/2.0 mi,
MFG Hare & Hounds 172.9p/2.8 mi, PGG Napoleon 171.9p/2.8 mi - plus
imperial-vs-US gallon, MPG and budget scaling, the break-even tolerance
boundary, the nearer-candidate clamp, route-unavailable, mixed-basis
estimates and display-rounding boundaries.
- Formula unchanged, and verified correct: fixed quantity (budget / baseline
price), pump saving, round-trip extra distance clamped at zero, travel fuel
priced at the candidate station, +/-5p break even, baseline labelled
"Closest station", sorting on the unrounded net saving. The brief's "£0.18"
for Tesco is the rounded 1 dp extra-distance caption (2.02-2.05 mi reads as
"2.0 mi"), not a rounding bug in the money.
UI (uncommitted since d7a0ecb):
- Done bar drawn in the bottom safe area from keyboard notifications:
.toolbar(placement: .keyboard) is device-dependent (present on the 15 Pro,
absent on the SE on the same iOS build).
- Favourite star in the More-info heading, wired to the same fuel-scoped
toggle as the listing rows at all three call sites.
- CHEAPEST/TOP badge moved above the price so it reads as part of it.
- Listing rows carry the real session fill-up amount instead of a hard zero
(the compact banner does not print it today; a future row layout would).
153 tests, 0 failures. Simulator and device builds succeed.
Optional Fuel Savings feature (off by default): vehicle MPG in UK imperial gallons, fill amount in pounds or litres, persisted through the existing keychain/app-group store. Ranks the WHOLE station pool by estimated net saving (fuel-price saving at each pump minus the extra return-trip driving cost) using MapKit road distances with a straight-line fallback marked (est.).
The closest station with a valid price for the selected fuel is the comparison baseline and is labelled "Closest station"; other rows read "Save £X.XX after travel" / "£X.XX worse off after travel" / "Break even". Labels live in the shared model so they are unit-tested. The TOP badge still marks the cheapest pump price and reads "CHEAPEST" when the list is ranked by net saving.
Road routing now prioritises the Worth-the-Drive candidates plus the baseline and merges cache entries instead of replacing them, so far-out stations get real routes rather than permanent straight-line estimates. Numeric fields gain a Done button above the keypad (decimalPad has no Return key); the fill-up control is hidden unless the feature is configured; Favourites shares one session fill amount with the station list. 131 tests.
